At the weirdest times
The psychic validation
Keeps coming my way

That is November weather —
I want off the ride

Bonding ritual
A wine hangover shadow
Survived ladies’ night

The inner critic
Sunday morning lies in wait
For screen time report

Bats on Montrose Ave
A backdrop of full Pink Moon
Spring, at last, arrives

Time-lapse cherry trees
Blossoming deep in my core
At the thought of you

I don’t understand all the fuss about nepo babies. Every dentist I’ve ever met was a nepo baby.

O’Hare awaits me
Liffey-bank sunset tomorrow
Vacation, at last

I’ve been obsessed with the moon since I was a baby. As a small child, I thought it was because I was destined to be an astronaut. Now I know it’s just because I’m a witch. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I wish I could tell the moon how much I like it

ACOTAR just got much funnier after I learned that “cauldron” is also the collective noun for a group of bats.

Bonus mid-week Haiku:

Left knee pepper mill
Sounds of descending the stairs
Welcome, thirty-nine

Quick winter birdsong
Fleeting hallucination
Spring fever begins

Hurkle-Durkle Haiku - 2/23/25 (2/3)

Hobbies abandoned
Uncompleted cross-stitch taunts
Finish it one day?

Avoidant all week
Responsibilities hide
Sundays devour me

All socks have matches
A triumph of laundry day
Joys of middle age

The snake plant survives
Drought, darkness, breakups, neglect
My queen of houseplants

Oh! There you are, me
Abuse hid me from myself
Finding my way back

Hurkle-Durkle Haiku 2/16/25 (2/5)

Introvert, my ass
Crave the presence of others
Feel human again

Hurdle Durkle Haiku 2/16/25 (1/5)

Books beckon backward
Unanswered childhood calling
Drowned out - never gone
